    I'd check out the Turtledog stand thread if you are looking to build a hammock stand on the cheap. There are others as well but the Turtledog stand is probably the most prominent. It's a long thread so get ready for some reading but there is a ton of great information and the stand itself is pretty easy to build and works well.

    there are also some bipod stands that have been made. I have an example of one here: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...-(bipod-stand)
    and there are some DIY versions of the Hammeck stand as well using parts from the same site I used - using the "Open L" connectors, and then something to keep the legs from spreading, such as chain or zing-it line.
    Advantage of some of the bipod stands is that you can more easily use parts that separate, such as 2 part legs. hard to do with the standard Turtledog stand.
